PART I: MATTER, MEASUREMENT & UNITS (Questions
1-25)
1. Chemistry is defined as the study of:
• A) The properties of matter and the changes it
undergoes
• B) Living organisms
• C) The structure of the Earth
• D) The behavior of light
• E) The motion of objects
Answer: A
Rationale: Chemistry is the study of matter—its
composition, properties, and the changes it
undergoes.
, 2. Matter is defined as:
• A) Anything that has mass and volume
• B) Anything that has energy
• C) Only solid substances
• D) Only living things
• E) Anything that can be seen
Answer: A
Rationale: Matter is anything that has mass and takes
up space (volume).

• A) Indefinite shape and definite volume
• B) Definite shape and definite volume
• C) Indefinite shape and indefinite volume
